Well where do I start?
That intro makes it sound like I’m up to sooo much fun stuff and have so many interesting facts to share about myself, but it’s all pretty boring really.
I write stories where scary stuff happens, I blog about nonsense, I am an amateur serial killer in the making, and I love snuggling up with my cute little kittens in front of a warm fire (only one of those statements is false).
I enjoy reading, which is a good thing if you want to write, as you need to know how to do it properly! King, Kafka, Palahniuk, Barker, Lovecraft, Jackie Collins; all the greats.
Films, yes I like them. Food, I enjoy eating it. Drums, I love banging them.
I hope to take over the world one day and make everyone listen to ear-shattering grindcore at all times, to only complain that my music is becoming too mainstream.
And that’s it really. Oh yeah, I also have a GSOH, although you’d probably doubt that if you ever met me.

Horror may be one of the toughest genres to write. Perhaps that’s not true, maybe it’s because I’ve never tried writing in any other genre that I think this. If I was to attempt an intergalactic romance story involving family… Read More ›

Book Review – The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum
I’ve never been shocked by a book before, although I’ve been close a few times. I love grotesque and frightening stories where things never work out for the protagonist. The more gore and death, the better. But finally, something has… Read More ›

Book Review – Bad Pennies by John F Leonard
When a book’s title has the sub-heading ‘A Supernatural Horror Novel’ my interest is always piqued. Add to that the promise of a whole new mythos inside (this one’s entitled The Scaeth), I’m practically salivating like a cannibal in the… Read More ›

Six Things the Amateur Writer Should be Doing
Have you ever heard a professional writer moan about work? Do they ever tweet angry pictures on Sunday evenings complaining on how it’s another week doing this boring job that they hate? Do they spend their free time scouring the… Read More ›

Maybe I’m getting old, yeah that’s probably it. But the class of comedy TV shows these days seems to be slipping. That’s a bit of a bold statement, I admit, and I’m sure there are plenty of genuinely funny and… Read More ›

Top Ten Metal Releases in 2017
2017 has been a great year for metal. Many albums have nestled themselves angrily in my noise-loving eardrums and refused to let me forget them (sometimes by force- that’s good, by the way). I’ll end this pointless intro and just… Read More ›

Book Review – The Martian by Andy Weir
The Martian is not a story about a little red alien man from Mars, it’s actually about… OK, you probably already know what it’s about. There’s a film based on this book and everything, you see. Although I haven’t seen… Read More ›
